The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has issued a warning to its personnel against election bias and voter intimidation ahead of the upcoming elections. The alert was issued by Michael Olugbode in Abuja and Ibrahim Oyewale in Lokoja.
The NSCDC emphasized that its officers must uphold the integrity of the electoral process. The force is urging stakeholders to ensure free, fair, and credible elections. The warning comes as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prepares to conduct the polls.
This is the second time the NSCDC has raised concerns about election-related misconduct. In 2025, the agency similarly cautioned against vote-buying and ballot stuffing. The current warning follows reports of increased political tensions in several states.
The NSCDC is working closely with INEC to monitor the electoral process. The agency has deployed officers to key polling areas across the country. The warning is part of broader efforts to prevent electoral fraud and ensure public trust in the outcome.
The upcoming elections are seen as a critical moment for Nigeria’s political landscape. The NSCDC’s intervention highlights the growing importance of security in the electoral process. The agency remains committed to maintaining order and upholding the rule of law.
